Favorite foods

Yesterday I went to Subway and on their cups they have the calories and fat grams for their subs and had a comparison to Big Mac and Whoppers. Wow is there a difference. Big mac is 540 calories and 29 grams fat (or 261 calories/49% fat) The Whopper is 680 calories and 40 grams of fat (or360 calories/53% fat) The subways roast beef was 310 calories 4.5 grams fat (or 41 calories/13 % fat) Look at that difference. Now if you add cheese (40 calories, 3.5 grams fat) you still don't come close to a big mac or whopper.

Go to your favorite restaurant and look to see what your calorie intake, fat intake, carbo intake is for each food. Post your findings.
